No. Lots of them dive as a tactic. The vast majority are still guys in peak physical condition. Essentially, however much many of them fall over on a pitch, they'd still give you a pasting in the street.

Only if provoked, one would hope....  :|


It may come as a shock to those who know me that I have ever played sport, but I did once break my wrist playing rugby.  Couldn't be the hard man, ignore it and carry on regardless, though - the bones broke cleanly and my hand sort of slid back over the wrist so it looked like my arm was suddenly a few inches shorter.  People were staring like I was the Elephant Man or something.

..... and that's why I never got any good at playing the guitar!  Maybe.

Unless it's Duncan Ferguson, i think i'd be alright. Although like Steven Gerrard they do tend to beat up people with six of their pussy mates like the pussys they are.

They cheat and they're pussy's. Nuff said.

Anyway, who mentioned diving? I thought this was a thread about a ruptured bollock

I broke my nose playing rugby (my own fault for my nose being too big). That's why I never got good at playing the guitar
